Jessica Biel Drops Hints to Husband Justin Timberlake About What Jewelry She Wants

Jessica Biel says she is not fussy when it comes to gemstones. “I love them all. I’m one of those girls, it doesn’t matter, any sort of beautiful, shiny, sparkly thing,” she told VF Daily at the Guggenheim Museum on Thursday, where Tiffany & Co. celebrated its 2014 Blue Book, a catalogue of their newest jewels. “But I really love aquamarine,” Biel added. “I recently wore a beautiful chandelier earring and this incredible sort of bow bracelet to the Oscars, and it had a huge aquamarine stone, this huge gemstone, that I just thought was spectacular. But no, I'm not picky; go ahead, I’ll take it all,” she said, laughing.

At the Tiffany party, she wore diamonds, but Biel’s taste is eclectic. “I’ll wear something cool from a flea market, and I’ll wear something that’s fancy. So it doesn’t matter to me, really.” So how does hubbyJustin Timberlakeget it right when selecting a gift? “Well, I sometimes drop hints,” Biel said, laughing. “But only to my husband,” she added.

Alexi Ashe explained how her husband, Seth Meyers, knows exactly what kind of jewelry she likes. “I have a sister that’s very plugged in to what I want,” she said. Meyers agreed: “And I’m plugged into the sister, so it all works out.”

“But he did amazing here,” Ashe said, showing VF Daily her ring. “Yes, I designed the engagement ring,” Meyers said, beaming. “I’m retiring after that one.”

Of course, everyone wanted to know Meyers’s thoughts about Stephen Colbert taking over for David Letterman. “I’m so happy. He’s the funniest, smartest, and also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met,” Meyers said.

But we also wondered how Meyers is feeling, seven weeks after taking on his own NBC late-night talk show. “I can’t believe it’s real,” Meyers said. “But the thing I was most worried about was interviewing, just because that was the farthest away from anything I’d done before, but I’m really enjoying it.” He hasn’t experienced any major screw-ups so far. “Every now and then I forget that I have to throw it to a clip, but other than that, it’s not that bad. It’s nice, because unlike S.N.L., where I feel like you had a lot of ‘Yes!’ moments and a lot of ‘Oh no!’ moments, here we do so many more moments. You just get to do a show every night, so you just tend to, like, look forward as opposed to backwards. So it’s really nice.”

Katie Holmes, Hilary RhodaandSean Avery, Constance Jablonski, Lindsay Ellingson, and Mickey Sumner also attended the party, for which the Guggenheim lobby was decorated completely in white, with white rugs and white leather benches. The new Blue Book collection was on display, and a custom-designed mapping installation by the Leo Kuelbs Collection was projected onto the rotunda ceiling.
